Okay, we are continuing on with the chapter that is partly finished. After all, this chapter happens or occurs in "Season 2 ~ Act 19: Time Warp ~ Sailor Pluto", but this chapter will be part of the previous chapter; "Act 10: The Choice and Evolution ~ The Princess of the Earth". So we are continuing on with the chapter so we could see a whole view before the girls reunite to the real next chapter.

So here's what if...this would happen during this time...

Previously on Sailor Moon Crystal ~ The Exclusive Earth's Journey (Reprise)...

The truth was revealed, Chibi Usa, Lily/Sailor Earth and Bailey are from the future; the 30th Century of Earth. Asking Sailor Moon for help to save their future. Suddenly, more of the truth was revealed to the guardians. Revealing not only Chibi Usa, Lily/Sailor Earth, and Bailey are the only ones are from the future. All of the Sailor Guardians of the Gems are too from the future as well. On a mission in the past to search for their Princess of Earth before returning to the 30th Century.

Since the girls sacrificed themselves to save Lily, they soon discovered that fate has something else in store for them. The Sailor Guardians of the Gems are called out by the previous knights of Endymion: Kunzite, Jadeite, Nephrite, and Zoisite. They prepared a test and that test is to find the swords. In order to return to their princess, they must find these swords and regain their power so they could go back to help their princess and Chibi Usa. Now four swords have been found. Only two swords to go and the test will be tough as ever.

And now, the conclusion...

Mean while on the island...

While Skylar and Taylor are looking around, they are back early empty-handed. "Find anything Blitzie Feathers?" Taylor asked.

"Nope," Skylar shook. "You, Firry Feathers?"

"Have you seen how empty my hands were?" Taylor growled.

"Never mind," Skylar sighed. "But we got to find those swords before meeting up with the others."

"You're right about that," Taylor crossed her arms with a huff. Suddenly, they both heard a chime.

"You heard that, right?" Skylar asked.

"Sure did," Taylor nodded. Suddenly, two constellations from the night sky glowed brightly. Both of the girls looked up, recognizing the constellations. "Hey, that's the constellation of the Phoenix."

"And that's the constellation of the Pegasus," Skylar pointed.

Suddenly, the light from two constellations pointed to the tree. One is pointed at the top branches of the tree while the other is pointed at a cave entrance of the tree. "Light points the way...could it be the swords?" Skylar asked.

"Possibly," Taylor nodded. They both walked towards the tree. Hearing a chime again, but in two different directions. "I'm hearing the chime from the cave, are you hearing the same chime?"

"I heard the chime, but only within the tree branches." Skylar pointed up.

"I see," Taylor thought for a moment. "Guess that we have to split."

"Guess so," Skylar shrugged.

"Well," Taylor looks at the tree branches, the cave, and back to Skylar. "Good luck climbing up, Blitzie Feathers."

"And good luck climbing down, Firry Feathers." Skylar smirked. "Let's see how is good on rock or tree climbing."

"Oh, you're on." Taylor has started to steam up. Within a split second, they both have gone separate ways and begun climbing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~End of the OPENING~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Skylar ~ The Sword of Compassion

While Skylar is climbing, a chime sounded in the air. Suddenly, she has found a large branch that seems to be stabled to walk or to live on. She quickly climbed onto the branch. Once she is fully on the branch, Skylar slowly took a breather as she laid down on the branch. "Man," Skylar exclaimed. "How high can this tree go?" Suddenly, a chime has sounded. "Huh?" Skylar nearly sat up. It's sound very close, she thought as she turned towards the thick tree trunk. Seeing something sparkling upon the tree bark. She saw a huge stone attached to the tree with something very oddly familiar.

"A sword in the stone, huh?" Skylar raised a brow. "But a turquoise stone instead of a regular stone, interesting." She stood up, "Well, I guess that all I need is to pull it out. Piece of cake." As she was about to grab the handle, a sudden ball of light have stopped her from approaching from behind. "Huh?" Skylar jumped as she turned around. Seeing a strange figure in armor that shimmers underneath the constellation of the Pegasus.

(I am a huge fan of Saint Seiya, but I thought something very challenging for the story to make a twist. Hope that you like it.)

"What the...? Who the heck are you?" Skylar nearly panicked. With no words, the figure in armor walks towards her. "W-w-what...? What do you want?" she nearly stuttered. Suddenly, the figure have fully stopped.

"If you wish to have the sword," the man voice spoke through the mask. "You must prove that you are worthy for the sword."

"Prove that I am worthy...for the sword?" Skylar raised a brow. How am I supposed to do that? Skylar begun to worry.

"So are you going to prove your worthy for the sword?" the man in armor stood in fighting stance.

"You have no idea," Skylar felt unsure for herself at first but determined not to lose. Suddenly, they both begun to fight.

While Skylar is fighting against the man in armor, she has started to feel stressed with every attack that she hits and soon her attacks have been blocked. How does this guy do that? Skylar wondered. It's like he knows my every move, but how? Skylar breaths heavily.

"Have you given up yet?" the man in armor asked as his voice sounded like it is a smirk.

"Not even close," Skylar replied as she fought back. With an ounce, more block, the man in armor pushed her away. Skylar groaned in pain.

"Are you sure that you are willing to continue?" the man asked, "You must give up and return to have a normal life as you forget the sword."

"But...that would make me selfish," Skylar grunted. "If I want to forget, I will hurt those that I care about."

"Do you want a normal life or do you want to continue?"

"If you're asking that...do I miss having a normal life," Skylar huffed. "The answer is yes, having a normal life may seem nice at first. But it mostly made me feel lonely."

"How so?"

"Because I never made friends, till I met Lily." Skylar remembers meeting Lily and giving up her tights in order to save her. "Knowing that life isn't just about alone, it is more. Normal life may seem nice but it is only a beginning. My normal life has turned into a new adventure that I'm willing to take and decide on my own. This life is now to help my friends is to be me." Slowly, Skylar begun to glow. With her words, it has touched the sword, it has started to glow as the stone has started to crack.

"With bold words, are you still willing to fight?" the man in armor asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be," Skylar replied with determination.

"Very well," the man in armor has too started to glow. "PEGASUS RYUSEI KEN!" he attacked.

"I won't give up," Skylar muttered as she sees the attacks in slow motion. "TURQUOISE..." Skylar glow even brighter. "COSMIC...CIVIL-FEATHER ARROW STREAM!!" She launched her new attack. With one attack, it finally hit the man in armor.

The man in armor shouted in pain as he has been pushed away.

"I did it," Skylar exclaimed in exhaustion. "What a relief," she breaths for a moment.

The man in armor groaned as he struggled to get up. But noticed that his leg is injured. Skylar look at him, noticed him in pain. She looks at the sword for a moment, hesitated at first. But shrugged it off as she turned back to the man in armor. She walks towards him and took her scarf off.

"Here," she wrapped the scarf around the wounded leg.

"Why?" the man asked.

"I just can't leave someone hurt," Skylar replied. "Even if it is an enemy or a friend. You could be either one of them and it doesn't matter to me, however, it is very important to show compassion to others while giving some action of generosity to those that are in need. And it seems that you are that those are in need." With her words, the stone glow very brightly as it suddenly shattered. The shards of the gem have floated towards Skylar and have circled around her. "What?" Skylar looks around her. "What's going on?"

"You're..." the man in armor gasped as his eyes widened. Within a flash of light, the shards of the gem have entered Skylar. Healing her scratches, blisters and her bruises. Within a nick of a second, the sword appeared in her hand. The sword glowed as it shows a slight silver spin with the handle looks like a Pegasus detail and the base has the turquoise gem attached to it.

"The sword," Skylar gasped.

"The sword...it has chosen you," the man in armor sat up.

"What?" Skylar looks at him confusingly. "What do you mean?"

"You have passed your test," the man in armor explained. "With your act of compassion and generosity, the sword has been removed from its slumber and chosen you as its wielder. Therefore, the sword now belongs to you."

"Whoa," Skylar looks at the sword with a smile.

"I should thank you for fixing my leg," the man in armor stood up with a struggle. "You act of compassion have helped."

"Anytime," Skylar smiled as she too stood up. "Now, I must return to my friends."

"Alright, before you return." The man in armor replied, "You must help your friend that went below the tree."

"My friend?" Skylar raised a brow, "You mean Taylor?"

The man in armor nodded, "She might need some inspiration to pass her test."

"Okay," Skylar slowly understands. "How am I supposed to do that?"

"Simple," the man in armor replied. "All you have to do is to drop in."

"Say what?" Skylar raised a brow. Suddenly, a cracking sound have vibrated underneath her feet. Skylar looks below her. Seeing the part of the branch is breaking beneath her. "Oh dear," Skylar gasped. Within a blink of an eye, Skylar fell into the hole of the branch with the sword in hand. Leaving the man in armor alone.

"Good luck, Warrior of Generosity and Compassion." The man in armor wished her luck as he looks down at the hole. "And my friend, please go easy on these two. They are in need for the future that is yet to come." The man in armor slowly starting to disappear. "I hope that we will meet again...to paidí mou." Suddenly, the man has disappeared into the night. Leaving no trace of him on the branch. Right above the tree, the constellation of Pegasus have disappeared without a trace.

Taylor ~ The Sword of Loyalty

Within the cavern that is below the tree, Taylor is being careful of climbing. Man, this cave sure is steep. Taylor thought with a grunt. I wonder how far it goes? Suddenly, she felt the atmosphere changed. It suddenly got warm. Taylor hummed in wonder. "I must have gone through one of the layers of the surface," Taylor muttered. Suddenly, a light appeared in front of her. "Finally, some light." She huffed as she approached to the exit.

At the exit, Taylor sees a landscape that she was not expected to be at. "A volcanic landscape," Taylor looks around. "Well, that explains why it is so warm." Suddenly, a chime has sounded within the air. "That sound," Taylor begun to follow it. As she begun to follow the sound, Taylor becomes very cautious to walk on the catwalk that is nearly surrounded by lava. "Okay, no need to be nervous." Taylor breaths calmly as she follows the sound of the chime.

As Taylor get's closer, Taylor found herself in the middle of the catwalk. But in the center, she sees a familiar stone that is indeed in fact Topaz. However, there is an object that is stuck between the cracks of the stone.

(Sorry that I couldn't make the cat walk, but this is what I could come up with. Please forgive me.)

"Oh great," Taylor muttered. "Since when did I got myself into one of Walt Disney classical movies that Lily likes to watch?" Taylor walks towards the stone, "Well does not matter. All that I need is to pull that sword out and get out of here." Before she could approach with another step, a metal like object has hit between her and the stone. Fully stopped in confusion, Taylor turned to see what was thrown. She sees a metal shaped like feather is sticking out on the ground and glowing warmly against warm rocks.

Curiously, Taylor turn to see who have thrown that type of metal that has stopped her.

(Trying to find Phoenix with Helmet and mask but this is what I could find.)

At the direction that Taylor was looking at, a man that is wearing a strange armor that seems like it is flowing with the heat of lava. Above the man, the constellation of the phoenix shone brightly above the man. As Taylor looks closely behind the man in armor, noticing some cape-like is flowing with three tails for a phoenix. But due to the tails, it is similar pattern of metal that once was thrown from and stopped her from approaching to the sword. Taylor nearly lost her words as she gazed at the armored man. The armor man approached to her. "Afraid that you can't go any further to the sword, young lady." The man's voice echoed underneath the helmet.

"Why not?" Taylor replied.

"Because you are not worthy to wield the sword," the man replied, aggressively.

"Excuse me?" Taylor huffed. "I am worthy, I am indeed worthy to wield that sword!"

"Really?" the man's voice has sounded like it he has just smirked. "Such bold words to speak like that. Very well."

"So I will approach?"

"Not yet," the armored man crackled his knuckled.

"Why?" Taylor huffed angrily.

"Because you have to show me how you are worthy for the sword," the armored man replied. "And earn it."

"Which is...?" before Taylor could get answer. The man suddenly punched Taylor within an expended speed. Taylor gasped in pain as she landed hard. Taylor coughed, "What...just...happened...?"

"This is your answer," the armored man replied. "You have to fight for the sword."

"What?" Taylor struggled to sit up. "Me...fight you? You are insane! There is no way that I could fight you. Plus, fights lead nothing but trouble."

"Really?" the man in armored smirked as he lightly chuckled. "If you don't fight, your friend will suffer the consequences for you."

"Friend?" Taylor rubbed her wound that is slightly bruised. "What friend?" Suddenly, a scream has echoed within the area. Without a breath, a crash has sounded within the area. "Huh?" Taylor looked. Seeing a familiar figure that is laying on a rock that is cool and soften the figure's fall. "Blitzie Feathers?" Taylor jumped as she sees Skylar laying on the rock unconscious. "What did you do?" Taylor growled.

"Nothing much," the man in armor replied. "Just decided to allow her to drop in."

"Why you..." Taylor clutches her fist.

"Fight, or your friend will pay the price." The man in armor warned her.

Taylor growled as she clutches her fist tightly. "Fine," she grumbled. "I will fight you, but you will pay dearly if anything happens to her."

"Good answer," the armored man grinned. Slowly, they both clashed their fists in combat.

While fighting, Taylor nearly got some burns and scratches every time the man punches her back. Taylor breathes deeply as she is kneeling.

"Get up," the man in armor ordered.

"Don't order me while I was catching my breath," Taylor charges again. The man in armor dodges.

"You sure are stubborn, I give you that." The man in armor nodded in amusement. "Which reminds me about someone that I used to know back in my day."

Taylor grunted.

"But your anger," the man in armor spoke. "That's another thing."

"What?" Taylor stood in anger.

"I wonder," the man in armor clutches his fist. "Will your anger become your downfall?" The man in armor's fist started to glow, "Or will it become your strength? PHOENIX HOO GENMAKEN!" The man in armor throws a punch. With that wave from a punch, a strange wave hit Taylor's forehead.

In shock, Taylor blinked a few times in confusion. "Is that the best way you can do it?" Taylor huffed.

"Why are you standing like this?" a voice spoke from behind.

"Huh?" Taylor turned. Seeing dark figures that she has never seen before. "What?"

"You're not a good friend," the dark figure changes shape. "You're nothing but a ruffian."

"What was that?" Taylor throws a punch. Suddenly, she felt an aching pain in her head. "Ow, what the...?"

"Don't get hurt?" the voice that belongs to the man in armor echoes within the air. "If you do, you will be crushed within the images that live within your head."

"Within...my head?" Taylor echoed as she noticed the differences in her surroundings.

In reality, Taylor is staring blankly as she stands like a statue. "Let's see if you survive through your own illusions." The man in armor spoke.

Within the little aisle, Skylar is lying unconscious and slightly unharmed. Suddenly, her finger twitched just a bit. Skylar opened her eyes slowly and groaned in pain. "Ow," she sat up. "What happened?" Skylar rubbed her head. Suddenly, she felt something warm. "Huh?" she looked at her hand. In shock, Skylar gasped. "Lava?" Skylar looks around where she is laying at. "How did I...?"

"I see that you are now awake," a voice that sounds like an echo underneath a mask has spoken. Skylar looks up, seeing a man in armor standing above her. Skylar studied the man in a near familiar sight.

"That armor," Skylar whispered as she studied more. "Are you friends with the other guy? With similar armor such as yours?"

"Perhaps," the armored man nodded. As she slightly shrugged.

"But why am I down here?" Skylar asked.

"You're here to motivate your friend to take the test that she is in," the armored man replied.

"Motivate my friend?" Skylar slowly remembers the reason why she was "dropped in". "Wait...where's...?" Skylar looks up to her right, seeing a familiar figure that is standing on the ledge with a blank look. "Taylor?" she cried out, "Taylor, are you all right?" Skylar asked, yet Taylor has not responded. "Taylor?"

"She can't hear you," the armored man replied. "And she never will."

"What did you do?" Skylar nearly growled.

"Nothing much," the armored man replied. "Just messed her head for a little bit."

"Messed with her head?" Skylar echoed, "With what?"

"That's a secret," the armored man replied, "Now, let's see if she could come out of it."

"I know Taylor would," Skylar barked.

"Why would you say that?"

"Because I know Taylor," Skylar spoke. "And I know that Taylor would just only be harsh and stubborn but she would do that for herself. Maybe...maybe deep down, she would do it for someone she cares about. She does not even show it but it is still there."

"What are you saying?" the armored man asked.

"I'm saying that Taylor is way too stubborn to be fooled by some strange delusions that would mess with her mind," Skylar explained. "She will keep on fighting with a good reason to stand up for what she cares about."

The armored man chuckled, "Man," he sighed. "You sounded just like someone that I used to know," he grinned behind his masked helmet.

Within Taylor's mind, she has heard everything that Skylar has said within the echoes of the air. Blitzie... Taylor thought. No...Skylar is right. I am way too stubborn to be fooled by these stupid illusions. But she is also right about one thing, and I will fight for it. Suddenly, everything turned to light. As her body started to glow and turn a shape into a Phoenix.

In reality, Skylar is still barking at the armored man. "And by my perspective," Skylar continued. "You're not playing fair."

"You've talked too much Blitzie Feathers," a familiar voice spoke.

"What?" the armored man turned.

"Taylor," Skylar smiled. Seeing her rival, friend is now awake and glowing brightly.

"You're awake?" the armored man is now in shock.

"Old man," Taylor growled. "I won't tolerate your pathetic attacks anymore."

"We shall see about that," the armored man has started to glow. "HYOKO TENSHO!"

"TOPAZ!" Taylor cried out, "FURRY THUNDER PUNCH!" Taylor launched her attack. With her attack, it hit the armored man directly as she dodges his attack.

The armored man cried out in pain as he has been pushed away.

"Now that was settled," Taylor dusted her hands. "Now I..."

Skylar cried out in pain. Taylor quickly turned, seeing Skylar holding her right ankle in one hand while the other is holding the sword. Kneeling as the little isle that Skylar is on has started to sink. Skylar begun to panic as she still recovering from the fall.

"Blitzy..." Taylor looks at her rival then to the sword. Taylor slowly debates as she slowly growls. "Oh, forget it." Taylor started to glow again. Suddenly, fire has started to surround her and turned into pair of wings attached to her back. Taylor jumped and started to take flight.

Skylar panicked as she tries to stand. Suddenly, a light crash has landed right next to her. "Huh?" Skylar was about to turn. Suddenly, a strong pair of arms have swooped her side and legs. Cradling her in bridal style. "Taylor?" Skylar blinked from her shock.

"Hang on," Taylor jumped again and took flight once more. All at once the isle have disappeared into the lava.

Once Taylor landed, she settle Skylar down as the pair of wings that was made of fire disappeared. In exhaustion, Taylor went to her knees as she breathes heavily. "Taylor," Skylar kneel down. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Taylor groaned. "What about you? How bad is your ankle?"

"Just burnt a bit," Skylar answered. "Luckily it wasn't a third degree or I won't be able to stand."

Taylor chuckled, "Lucky you," Taylor clutches her fist. "Let's go, we got to treat your ankle in a better location."

"But Taylor...are you sure?" Skylar asked in concern.

"Yeah, I'm sure." Taylor nodded, "Who would need that stupid sword anyway? I don't need it, since I have flunked that stupid test."

"What are you talking about?" Skylar replied in concern. "You may be very loyal, but you're not very aware of it."

"Aware of what Blitzy?" Taylor grunted, "And don't lay riddles."

Skylare glared at Taylor, she sighed. Just reach over your right side of your shoulder to check your back."

"Did I say just don't play with riddles?" Taylor lowly growled in irritation.

"Just do it," Skylar crossed her arms.

"Fine," Taylor huffed. "You're lucky that I'm in not mood for..." she reached over her right side of her shoulder. As she was about to touch her back, something has blocked her hand. "Huh?" Taylor jumped as she felt something solid with her fingers. As Taylor gently guided her hand to grab hold the object and started to pull it. She heard a click as her back have felt lighter than it was a moment ago. Taylor brought the object in front of her; between her and Skylar. In gasp, Taylor suddenly realized that she is holding the sword that she has meant to receive or to pull out of the stone.

The sword is similar in detail to Skylar's sword, but the hilt is decorated in a shape of a phoenix. Decorated with bronze, silver, and topaz. The blade is clean and sharp with no dullness or rust at all. "How?" Taylor began to wonder as she looks back to the center of the catwalk. Seeing a dull sword that is still sticking out of a stone that is no longer topaz. Suddenly, it hit her. "It was a decoy?" Taylor wondered.

"Now that you don't see every day," Skylar agreed.

"Now you see the reason," the armored man walked to them. Both girls carefully stood up. "You've passed your test by saving something to choose and you have chosen wisely."

"You mean that she passed her test by saving me?" Skylar asked.

"That's correct," the armored man nodded. "That is how the real sword accepted you as its real master. You chose loyalty and care for your friend over your greed and temptation. That includes that you have overcome your anger."

"I see," Taylor looks at the sword.

"As you stay loyal to your friends and to the sword," the armored man continued. "The sword will stay loyal to you in return."

"What do you mean by that?" Taylor asked.

"You find out soon or later," the man in armor replied. Suddenly, an opening in the cave has shown the light. "Now it is time for you two to go."

"Good," Taylor smiled as she put the sword back into the sheath that is attached to her back. "We need fresh air instead of sulfur."

"Agreed," Skylar nodded.

"Do you have a belt?" Taylor asked.

"No, why?" Skylar asked as Taylor took her belt off.

"Use this," Taylor offered. "It's better to carry the sword by waist instead of hand."

"Good point," Skylar nodded. She settles the sword to her side and buckled up. The sword is no longer on the ground but now on her side. "Thanks."

"No problem," Taylor spoke. "Can you walk?"

"A little," Skylar replied with a light smile as she grunted in pain.

Taylor sighed as she gently looped Skylar's arm over her shoulder. "Just this once."

Skylar smiled, "Alright, I'll keep quiet about it."

"Whatever," Taylor sighed.

"You do remind me of someone all right," the armored man smiled in amusement. "You both better go, your friends are waiting for you."

"Thanks," both girls nodded.

"Good luck," the armored man watched both Taylor and Skylar leave the area.

As Taylor and Skylar left the area, the armored man chuckled. "I'm glad that I get to see you again before the reunion kóri." The armored man started to glow. "I'll see you again, within the 30th century." Suddenly, the man has started to disappeared within a trace. Right above the tree, the constellation of Phoenix have disappeared without a trace.

At the Reunion Spot

For a while, everything is quiet and undisturbed. Suddenly, Jade returned with a sword in hand. Guess I got here first. Jade thought. Hope that the others are okay. Suddenly, May returned with her sword.

"Hey Jade," May smile.

"Hey May," Jade smiled. Suddenly, she examined May for a moment. "Why are your clothes wet?"

"I went swimming," May replied as she raised her sword.

"Oh," Jade understands.

"Hey girls," a familiar voice spoke. Both Jade and May turned, seeing Rue. Who is also holding a unique sword as well. Suddenly, the girls noticed something about Rue's clothing.

"What happened to your clothes Rue?" May asked.

"I played in rose bushes," Re answered. "And there's still a lot of thorns in there."

"Ouch," Jade winced.

"Be glad that you didn't catch yourself a bad case of a head cold," May said.

"How so?" a familiar voice asked. The girls turned, seeing Sarah holding her sword.

"Because I went swimming with my clothes on," May answered.

"Your sword was underwater?" Rue asked.

"Yes," May nodded. "And it was covered with allege and slim."

"Yuck," Jade exclaimed.

"Yeah," Rue nodded. "I would be too grateful not to be full of scratches to bind in that field."

"How did that happen?" Jade asked.

"I've bound myself with the rose bushes," Rue answered.

"I wished that I have thought of that," May felt jealous.

"While doing that," Rue added. "I wished for the strength to save Makoto."

"You're the only one who made that type of wish," Jade spoke. "I made that same wish while I was only thinking about my teacher, Rei."

"I was too," May nodded. "But only about Ami-sempai."

"I was just thinking about not making Lily sad again," Sarah added.

"Yeah," Rue looks down. "Making Lily sad makes us sad."

"It hurts her to let us go that early," May nodded.

"As well it hurt us to let her go," Jade added, sadly.

"But we will make it up for that," Sarah spoke up with confidence. "Since we found the swords, we will get back to her."

"Yeah," Jade and May nodded.

"Totally," Rue nodded. "But we are missing two other people," Rue looks around.

"Now that you mention it," Jade spoke. "Where are they?"

"Looking for us already?" a familiar voice replied. The girls turned, seeing Taylor helping Skylar walk with a burnt ankle. Both of their swords are held by either waist or back.

"What happened to you?" the girls asked.

"Kid of a long story actually," Taylor replied.

"You mean by playing with fire and a tree that was lead by two constellations," Skylar asked. "Fighting against two people in armor to get to our swords and to earn the ownership by their tests? So yeah, it is a long story."

"Thanks for keeping it short, Blitzy." Taylor grunted.

"Whoa," Rue whistled. "Didn't see that one coming."

"You girls have a harder task than we did," Sarah spoke in amusement.

"Such as?" Taylor asked.

"Over a prayer to the sword," both Jade and Sarah answered.

"Went swimming to get to the sword," May added.

"Wrestling with the rose thorn bushes to get to the sword," Rue added.

Both Taylor and Skylar blinked in surprise. "You're right," they both exclaimed. "We did have a hard task than you girls did."

"Welcome back guardians," a familiar voice spoke. The girls turned and see the former Knights of Endymion has returned. "I see you have passed your tests," said Kunzite.

"And finally revive your swords," Zoisite smiled.

"Yeah," Rue spoke. "Most of us to an easy one while these two have a picnic that's full of ants."

"Okay, she does have a point there." May nodded.

"It's the only way to test them," Jadeite answered.

"To see that the worthy will overcome greed and selfishness to become a great warrior," Nephrite answered.

"You could have just warned us," Skylar barked.

"Where's the fun in that?" Jadeite chuckled. In irritation, the girls narrow their eyes as they *animated* sweat drops.

"Jadeite," Zoisite sighed as she rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Don't help."

"Sorry," Jadeite nervously smiled.

"Well, since we finished playing scavenger hunt," Sarah spoke. "Guess it is time for us to head back, and help out Lily and Bailey to save Chibi Usa."

"Not yet," Kunzite spoke. "There is one more thing missing."

"What's that?" Taylor asked. Suddenly, all the swords started to glow. All at once, May's shell started to glow and started to float out of her pocket.

"Huh?" May raised a brow. Suddenly, some object appeared in front of the other girls. Such as a flower of wild violet appeared in front of Jade; a pair of roses with thorns appeared in front of Rue; some flower seeds with a glow of sunshine appeared in front of Sarah; a seed from the tree with an unknown feather that is covered in stardust appeared in front of Skylar; and an ember with an unknown feather that is covered in stardust appeared in front of Taylor.

(Did my best to get them right. Sorry about that.)

"Raise your swords," Kunzite ordered.

"Why?" Taylor asked.

"Wait and see," Nephrite smiled. The girls look at each other in curiosity.

Without a word, the girls slowly nodded. Taylor helps Skylar study to stand. As Taylor and Skylar removed their swords and belt/container from their waist/back. Together, all of the girls raised their swords. All at once, the items glow brightly as each item enters into each other their swords. For example, the wild violets went into Jade's sword; the shell went into May's sword; the roses with thorns went into Rue's sword; the seeds and sunshine went into Sarah's sword; the tree seed with the unknown feather and stardust went into Skylar's sword; and the ember with the unknown feather and stardust went into Taylor's sword. All at once, the swords has started to glow brightly as they turned into shape.

Once all the swords have finished transforming into each item that the girls are now holding within their hand. 

"What?" Taylor gasped. Sarah pulled out the items as she opens the box.

"Nail files?" Sarah exclaimed.

In shock, the girls look at each other their own nail files. May's nail case is yellow that decorated with pink and green. Along with a pink rose and cape the case has a symbol of Mercury on it. The nail file is bright silver as the handle is decorated with pink and yellow with a Zoisite stone in the middle. Rue's nail case is red blue that decorated with yellow and bright red. Along with a yellow rose and cape of the case has a symbol of Jupiter on it. The nail file is bright silver as the handle is decorated with red and yellow with a Nephrite stone in the middle. Sarah's nail case is white that decorated with silver and gray. Along with a white rose and cape of the case has a symbol of Venus on it.
